Interestingly, the first quarter of 2012/13 has shown immense growth in the number of individuals served by APB’s Summary Legal Advice Program. APB is on track to provide free legal advice to twice the number of individuals (approximately 12,000) in 2012/13 than in 2011/12, despite maintaining its current staffing level in the face of a recent core funding cut. The funding cut, however, has resulted in the shut-down of the Children’s Lawyer Program in Nanaimo and APB’s Non-Profit Law Seminars for the foreseeable future.
